I think we’re all feeling a little helpless right now. COVID-19 is forcing us to stay home, limit interaction with other human beings and just generally live in a near constant state of unease. Many are working from home, using Zoom or Google Meet, or some other teleconference solution, to communicate with co-workers, clients and vendors. I wanted to do something to make this difficult situation a little more tolerable. Knowing first hand the power of nature to rejuvenate and heal, while also being someone participating in several Zoom meetings every week, it occurred to me that perhaps a few of my images could offer a respite, however small it may be.
If you’ve ever teleconferenced from home you’ve likely taken a few minutes before a call to clean up and organize the area of the room that’s visible behind you. Or, maybe not. Either way, some of you may find it a little bit weird to essentially invite co-workers, or in some cases even strangers, into your home. I know I do. Why not give them something beautiful to admire while on those calls? Something that may bring a smile to their face and give them a momentary reprieve from four walls that seem to be squeezing in a little bit more each and every day. For that reason, I’ve decided to make available, completely free of charge, a few select images perfectly sized to work as a Zoom background.
Right now, only Delicate Arch is available but I will be adding a few more images in the next few days. To download a background, please visit the Free Backgrounds page on my website, select the background you’d like to download, and hit “Add to Cart.” They’re totally free, no strings attached. I sincerely hope they’ll add a little happiness and optimisim to your next teleconference.
